Yoichi Wada told Nikkei Torendinetto that he’s debating whether to release Final Fantasy XIII in the same year as Dragon Quest IX. It’s curious what a Nintendo DS and PlayStation 3 game actually have to do with one another, but this suggests that it may be possible for a 2008 release date of FFXIII after all. Of course, it’s also possible that it will slip to 2009 or later.
